Abstract excerpt
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) shares immunophenotypic and karyotypic features with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia. The latter comprises two distinct entities with prognosis dependent upon immunoglobulin heavy chain (IgH) gene mutational status and the presence of 11q deletion. We evaluated the relevance of IgH gene mutational status, IgV gene family usage and presence of 11q deletion in a series of 42 histologically...
